you are: the City in a mouth hugli

After twenty years it has made the following step - on the basis of school has opened university. Its purpose, according to the writer, consisted in that in it people from the different countries could study, studying the richest culture of the people of India and other states of Asia. At university the big library has been created and independent work of students was in every possible way encouraged. Best of them read lectures on a level with teachers. And nowadays this university operates, following the traditions which have been put in pawn by Tagore, and its precepts. Atmosphere of democratism, service to interests of the people there reigns.

Tagore travelled on the countries of Europe, America, Asia much. Visiting of the Soviet country in 1930 became the big event in his life. Despite the fact that what to it was already under 70 years, it is live and actively penetrated extensively lives of the Soviet people, met students, art workers, peasants, working. The writer has been amazed by scope of transformations in the first country of socialism, active participation in them of weights. ' not having seen own eyes, - he in the book ' wrote Letters on Russia ', - I never would believe, that they only for ten years could lift from a bottom of ignorance and humiliation of hundred thousand people and not only to learn to their reading and writing, but also to impart it self-respect '. Having visited the USSR, Tagore for ever became the friend to the Soviet people, till the end of days watched closely transformations to the Soviet country, rejoiced to its successes. ' Letters on Russia ' Tagore have opened for the first time the Country of Councils for many Indians, have removed from eyes a veil of ignorance and misinformation about the new world which was born in Russia on which did not get tired to slander English colonizers and domestic kompradory.

Since then much has changed. Independent India with Russia is connected by close relations of friendship and cooperation. In the small square closing respectable street Chouringi, ten years there is at a crossroads a monument to V.I.Lenin N.Tomskogo's of work. It was presented by the Soviet country Calcutta on the occasion of century from the date of a birth of the leader of world proletariat. When I was in Calcutta, I always saw flowers on a pedestal of this monument. Once observed such picture: to a monument have approached the man in mature to a shirt and dhoti and the boy. Showing on Lenin's figure, the man explained something to the boy. I have become interested and have started talking to it. It has appeared, that the man works on one of jute factories and has specially come here with the son.

- At our place there is Lenin's small portrait, and I told to the son about this great person, expensive to heart of each worker. When the son has learnt, that in Calcutta there is a monument to Lenin, he very much asked to reduce it here. Here we also have come.
